$2 gas was global economic collapse price. That was the only way Trump “got” that price.
$2 gas is not profitable for US producers, so they shut down if that happens.
It’s not 1980 anymore.
We had under 2 dollars a gallon gas when Trump was President. The second Biden took over it shot up over 5 bucks a gallon because he shut everything down. Same thing with Obama. Over 3 dollars a gallon gas for 7 years. Besides that, it was under 2 dollars a gallon in 2000. You don’t have to go back to 1980.
1.79 here on election night when Biden “won”.
It had been as low as 1.59 a gallon off and on while Trump was in office.
It quickly doubled after Biden took office.
It only goes down from that at election times when Biden drains our strategic reserves for political purposes.
You do recall that in April of 2020, under Trump, oil prices were actually negative, right? (-$37 a barrel). Due to the global lack of demand due to COVID? Maybe that had somethng to do with gas prices.
And no, negative oil prices are not a good thing.
In 2017, 2018, and 2019, gas prices on average were under 3 dollars.

And I’m paying under $3 a gallon now. So your point is?

Then after the price collapse in 2020, Trump brokered a deal with Saudi Arabia and Russia to cut oil production to protect US domestic production thus raising prices.

Yeah, now. Just like it was over 3 dollars a gallon for 7 years with Obama until the last 6 months leading up to the election. My point is, if the Kamel wins, right up to 3-4 a gallon for her entire term.
I am not a lawyer, but if Trump owes that money to Rudy, can Moss and Freeman sue Trump for the money? Since technically, that is their money now.

One of the main things I’m worried about going forward is the net zero madness. I don’t want to be England. They’re going off the charts nuts with this stuff. If the Kamel is elected, it would only encourage that path.

Under 2 dollars locally.
Usually from 1.59 to 1.89.

I did a quick look up. Not too far from what I remember.
In 1971 it was actually 32 cent a gallon and sometimes during gas “wars” it would get under 20 cents.
Which is 2.41 in todays numbers
